he Selective & Collective memory : Memory as fetishised community : Communality as fetishised memorial

It has long been observed that the mediocre praise the dead and refract the vision of living folly with a mythic myopia.

This weekend saw the philosopher Paul Ricoeur die peacefully in his sleep, and the Irish State really kick into its Hamilton year. Whom they term "Ireland's greatest scientist" = utter crap.

In honour of Paul Ricoeur, this week's sunday papers is an attack on false memory, the Selective and Collective memory : Memory as fetishised community : Communality as fetishised memorial & I hope readers will bear with the different style as I recover from watching Star Wars episode 2 & I Robot, on DVD, and writing encylcopedia pages and blogs wonder, what has Ricoeur to offer the XXI century???

The Dangerous Place for consideration this Trinity Sunday is the future of Biotech and Human Cloning. read full story / add a comment

Banksy, one of those names which has been recognised for years amongst the European underground artivism scene, not least because he thought to leave his name stencilled near his better work which left on the walls of Bristol, London, Barcelona and many other cities, helped us work out the name he likes for himself, and indeed be additionally inspired to explore the artistic and political potential of the stencil. read full story / add a comment

1998 also saw the government of Spain under Aznar authorise contact with an armed faction to discuss areas of joint constitutional concern. We call this "one of the ETA ceasefires". read full story / add a comment
